Dr Fabio Villa
I am passionate about improving people's health. This is my aim and my mission.
I am focused on mental health, which is inseparable from physical health. My medical training includes a passionate work in mental, physical care and psychotherapy.
A constant research of effective solutions for my patients has led me to publish on international medical journals, including the New England Journal of Medicine, and to collaborate with Harvard University for a medical innovation project.
The medical and psychological care I propose is personalized and integrated. That will be possible in english, french and italian. Online consultations are possible, too.
I am convinced that, in psychological well-being, the comprehension of the person in his or her entirety makes the difference.
An approach focused on personalized solutions for anxiety, depression, distressed relationships
Anxiety
Although fear is an adaptive emotional response to avoid danger, anxiety is a counter-productive form of fear. The anxious person is trapped in her future, overthinks about unlikely or impossible catastrophic events.
Anxious thought is dysfunctional: it does not help to better face future events, but on the contrary it affects person’s skills, relationships and the capacity to manage the daily life.
Depression
Depression is a disease that needs medical treatment, although not always pharmacological.
Depression is not a form of sadness and has nothing to do with 'weakness'.
It is a very common condition but suffering is different from person to person, as are triggering factors and vulnerability.
Therefore there is not a single therapy, but different interventions according to individual needs.
Sleep disorders
Sleep disorders can have several causes. They can be associated with other conditions of a psychological, psychiatric or somatic origin.
Moreover, a sleep of satisfactory duration does not necessarily correspond to a restful night's sleep.
In addition to the treatment of the symptom, improving the quality of sleep, it is necessary to investigate any possibly associated conditions to obtain satisfactory and lasting results.
Stress management
Relationships & couples
Sexual medicine
Stress is a complex emotional and physical response that increases performance. Sometimes, however, it can be excessive or poorly managed, affecting one's mental well-being and performance.
There are numerous techniques, more practical or more introspective according to the person's skills and predisposition, to improve stress management and make it an aid to performance.
Sexual behavior says a lot about us and can reveal somatic problems or psychological conditions.
Sexual medicine is a medical field that requires specific skills, including competences in internal and cardiovascular medicine, endocrinology, urology, gynaecology and psychosexology.
To achieve real results, the integrated approach is essential.
Family and couples therapy aim to improve relational harmony through therapist mediation.
Years after their birth, relationships can become monotonous, unsatisfactory and sometimes marked by conflicts.
Communicating is the first step to understanding each other and the therapist helps to find a common ground between the different points of view and the needs of each member of the relationship.
